Can you paint upon the page of the world the ideal pictures of the Celestial Concourse? The pictures which are in the ideal world are eternal. I wish you to become such an artist. Man can paint those ideal pictures upon the tablet of existence with the brush of deeds. --  'Abdu'l-Bahá

There is a legend in Eastern countries that when a person first becomes conscious of his true nature as a child of God, they make a pilgrimage still further eastward until they find a green spot, in which, under the grateful shade of trees, they may lie down and, in their mind, see a vision of the City of Peace . . . A place where beside still waters one may realize the peace that passeth all understanding - the peace which the world can never give nor take away.
-- Sarah J. Farmer 1899

Strive . . . that ye may unravel the mysteries of love from its wind-flowers and learn the secret of divine and consummate wisdom from its eternal fruits. --  The Hidden Words of Bahá'u'lláh

In trance ecstatic may thy pangs be drown'd;
Bright clouds descend, and angels watch thee round.
--  Alexander Pope
